The ship takes them inside a factory producing the Subspace Bombs, and encounter various R.O.B.s that happen to live on the island. Donkey pounds the doors down, joining with Pikachu and Samus Aran who are confronting the Ancient Minister and a vast number of R.O.B.s. After Ganondorf reveals himself and forces the R.O.B.s, against their will, into activating all of the Subspace Bombs, Donkey Kong and the other fight alongside the Ancient Minister, who is shown to be R.O.B., against troops of the Subspace Army. When it becomes apparent they cannot release the R.O.B.s and stop the Subspace Bombs from detonating, Captain Falcon calls for his Falcon Flyer and ushers everyone to follow so they can escape, with DK carrying R.O.B. along when he refuses to leave his kind to perish. Once they rendezvous with the Falcon Flyer, Donkey Kong and the other six heroes defeat Meta-Ridley when he tries to stall them mid-escape, narrowly evading the island's engulf into Subspace. After that, they all meet up with the other heroes and combine their forces. a b c Watts, Martin (February 23, 2014). "Month Of Kong: The Making Of Diddy Kong Racing". Nintendo Life .

Nintendo granted the Stampers permission to use the Donkey Kong intellectual property; [30] some sources indicate that the Stampers obtained the license after Nintendo offered them its catalog of characters and they chose Donkey Kong, [24] [26] though the designer Gregg Mayles recalled that it was Nintendo that requested a Donkey Kong game. [27] Nintendo figured licensing Donkey Kong posed minimal risk due to the franchise's dormancy.

Diddy Kong Racing and Donkey Kong Barrel Blast are kart racing games that play similarly to the Mario Kart series, though Diddy Kong Racing features a story-driven campaign and Barrel Blast has the player shake the Wii Remote and Nunchuk alternatively to accelerate. The Donkey Konga trilogy was developed by the Taiko no Tatsujin developers and thus features nearly identical gameplay: the player must hit scrolling notes to the beat of the music with accurate timing, with colored notes corresponding to different buttons. Players build combos by hitting two or more notes; the combo ends when they miss a beat.After each level, the stages repeat with increased difficulty. For example, Donkey Kong begins to hurl barrels faster and sometimes diagonally, and fireballs speed up. The victory music alternates between levels 1 and 2. The fourth level consists of 5 stages with the final stage at 125 meters. The 22nd level is colloquially known as the kill screen, due to a programming error that kills Mario after a few seconds, effectively ending the game. However, in the Japanese Version 1, the player can complete all the stages up to 100 meters. 100 meters in level 22 is the true kill screen of this version. con­so­le of the fourth ge­ne­ra­tion ma­nu­fac­tu­red by Nin­ten­do in the years 1990 - 2003.
